The best of both worlds here outside Yakima, Wa.  I skied on Mt. Rainier on Saturday and played 9 holes on Monday!

Looking to break 90 this year, I was getting close the end of last season, shot a 42 on both the front and back nine at my regular course but NOT during the same round.  Best full round was a 92 during our club championship.  I won low net for my flight.  Dropped my handicap from 32 to 27.

Don't just stand there..........Smack that ball!

As good as outside of Yakmia, it can't hold a candle to Salt Lake City. 4 ski areas within a half hour of city ctn which includes Snowbird & Alta. A lot of really good, reasonablly priced munies and better weather.

I'm jealous. I've been living in SE Indiana for 13 years now and miss the mountains, snowboarding/skiing, hiking etc that my home state of WA offers. My home town is 60 miles south of Spokane.


Never been to SLC but have heard lots of great things about the area.  Perhaps we'll retire there....

Yeah I have the best of both worlds as well, only I'm living on west coast in Washington.  Ski Mt. Baker with tons of powder on it, and next day hitting the course up on the coast... as good as it gets! haha!

    • 12/24/2024 So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!
    • Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.
    • So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.
    • The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
